It's a closed system so why would Accor think it wouldn’t pop out under high pressure?????

I don't disagree, but some people think that the Accor valves are designed to pop closed at a specific pressure.
For those who want to check their water pressure, buy a 10 dollar pressure gauge from Amazon that will screw onto an outside hose bibb. A good pressure is about 60 psi. The pressure relief valve on the water heater is designed to open when the pressure exceeds 150 psi. The problem is that is too high, and the valve may open and only release about half cup of water and then close. So, you don't even know that it tripped.
